Save for the bunk Saviors deal (which a good move at the time in a short-sighted way), Ezekial's Kingdom has been the most successful of all communities we've seen in having a stable and thriving micro-society. It's because he sees the value in balancing good security with legitimate life enrichment, and it helps he's…

The thing is that Pacifist Morgan is in no way a Cured, or as the reviewer puts it "stable", Morgan. His madness is all still there, and the rigidity of his pacifism is as necessary as the rigidity of a metal cage to hold his violence in. Maybe we'll see him on the path toward healing, as much as he reasonably can at…

I don't think they planned it together but I do think Morgan is following through with Richard's plan, just in an improved fashion.

Yeah people don't really realize how long it takes to kill someone by suffocating or strangling them. Hold your breath as long as you can, and then double that. (The head slamming into the pavement probably helped the dying along, though.)

Most of its layers are thanks to the very talented actors the show is able to attract. (Even if sometimes a good director is lacking in bringing the best from a good actor.)

Yeah, Morgan didn't just 'snap' — he was following through on Richard's plan, but reasoned that the only way to really convince the Saviors of their submission was to kill Richard. It both revealed the long con to the King, in order to get him on board, and convinced the Saviors that there was no con. It doesn't seem…

Too late to call for a PBS kids roll call?
Arthur, Zoom, Reading Rainbow, Wishbone, Bill Nye, Dragon Tales…

I didn't even realize that was part of the show, but maybe that's because I was never the target audience so it didn't resonate with me. Hmm.

If J. K. Rowling could deal with it…

Hulu is great for people who don't have cable. I tend to postpone my subscription over the summer when my shows aren't on.

"Look you guys racism that results in hate crimes and attempted genocide is just A THING THAT HAPPENS, it's bad but get over it."

People love Octavia, but they don't love her for her behaviors currently. I have seen literally no one claim that this is the best iteration of Octavia. They want her to get past them, and maybe they find it an interesting direction for her character.

Protecting Bellamy's cover in Mt Weather was a "save everyone" motive, not a "save Bellamy" motive.

She was in the preceding episode where she played a significant role and interacted with Clarke.

There's still tons of fighting. Azgeda and Trikru in this episode, specifically. It's just not the core conflict.

I agree that the tone is overall optimistic (people are still trying to keep it together and care for each other), even Tandy's ignorant behavior has moved toward trying to make others feel better as opposed to upping his own position, but it doesn't shy away from the obstacles that they would face in these…

You don't think that it MIGHT have something to do with never being at a loss for finding one?

I don't think the 'subtext' (by which I think you mean 'theme) is necessarily passing a moral verdict on humanity by showing it's worse sides, especially in a time of crisis. I don't think it's saying humanity SHOULD or should not die. We're just watching a human experience.

The elevator door opening only solves one problem: Gail getting OUT of the elevator. Maybe. If she can wake up and drag herself there. But, it doesn't solve the problem of anyone in the main group thinking to themselves that they should go over to that other office building. So hopefully Gail can get herself down to…
